Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

The azure sky was exceptionally clear, so much so that in the distance, the sea and sky seemed to merge, indistinguishable from each other.

On the island, flowers, plants, and trees grew luxuriantly. A pavilion stood atop a reef in front of the forest, where Ye Jingcheng landed first.

He took out a teapot and began to brew tea, seemingly ignoring the Sun and Moon Sages and Si Kongli.

His movements were incredibly skilled, causing the Sun and Moon Sages to exchange glances in the distance.

Finally, they descended and approached the pavilion.

"Senior…" Sun Sage True Lord hesitated for a moment before speaking.

However, Ye Jingcheng continued to brew tea, ignoring them as if they didn't exist.

But it was this indifference that made them uneasy.

Three Core Formation cultivators should, in theory, be able to withstand a late-stage Core Formation cultivator for a while, or at least escape.

However, the three of them knew that Ye Jingcheng might be carrying the Yuan Shark Demon Emperor and the Flood Dragon Demon Emperor.

If they tried to escape, they would surely die today.

Therefore, even though they knew it would leave a bad impression and be difficult to explain, they still mustered their courage and spoke:

"Senior, we three have no intention of harming anyone today. We were observing because several Starfall Sect disciples have mysteriously disappeared in the sea recently, and we came to investigate."

"If we have offended you, please forgive us. As a token of our respect, here are some small gifts, and we hope Senior will accept them." Sun Sage True Lord took out a jade box and offered it to Ye Jingcheng with cupped hands.

To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, the jade box contained five Water Spirit Pearls.

Ye Jingcheng was familiar with these Water Spirit Pearls, which were produced by Moon Spirit Shells. The Ye family had many of them.

However, the five Water Spirit Pearls here were quite valuable, all being fourth-order.

Even the Ye family only had two fourth-order Moon Spirit Shell Demon Kings at the moment.

These Water Spirit Pearls could eliminate medicinal toxins and were beneficial for cultivation progress. At the fourth-order, they could even condense true essence.

The Ye family produced two Water Spirit Pearls every twenty years, and they were immediately exchanged for by the family members.

"Senior, these are Water Spirit Pearls produced by the Moon Spirit Shell Demon King, unique to the Moon Spirit Shell clan. I obtained them from Yue Dao of the Moon Spirit Shell clan. Each one can eliminate medicinal toxins and condense cultivation. If used by a water-attribute cultivator, their effects are even greater," Sun Sage True Lord explained quickly, seeing that Ye Jingcheng finally showed a hint of interest.

Ye Jingcheng indeed extended his hand, inviting the three to sit down.

Inside the pavilion, the four sat facing each other. Once inside, the three realized that Ye Jingcheng's spiritual tea was no ordinary tea, but a fourth-order spiritual tea.

The tea fragrance permeated the air, invigorating the mind and even causing a slight surge in blood and Qi.

"This tea is called Longevity Tea. It can prolong life. Would you like to try some?" Ye Jingcheng introduced it simply.

But the simpler the introduction, the more apprehensive the three became. If Ye Jingcheng had given a long explanation, they would have thought he wasn't a true expert.

Each of them took a sip and indeed found that the tea could increase lifespan. Although not by much, the cumulative effect would be considerable if drunk often enough.

After all, spiritual tea was not as difficult to produce as spiritual fruits.

The Sun and Moon Sages were extremely eager for this spiritual tea.

Although Core Formation cultivators had two thousand years of lifespan, that lifespan would eventually end. They now had less than three hundred years left, which was why they were so concerned about Si Kongli's matter.

"May I ask which immortal sect Senior comes from?" After drinking the spiritual tea, Sun Sage True Lord still mustered his courage and asked.

"You also know about immortal sects?" Ye Jingcheng didn't answer but instead asked, his gaze becoming even more intense, causing pain to the eyes when meeting it.

"Of course, I know. Although this junior is trapped in these two island groups, I have been to the Central Region. The entire Starfall Island also provides many spiritual materials to the Wang family of Vast Righteousness Prefecture," Sun Sage True Lord replied, his fear of the person before him reaching its peak.

The other party's eyes seemed to possess some kind of divine power.

Furthermore, judging by the way the other party didn't fear immortal sects, he was probably either from an immortal sect or a top-tier Core Formation force under an immortal sect.

Such a force must have many connections with immortal sects.

"As far as I know, Vast Righteousness Prefecture cultivates Vast Righteous Qi. You don't seem like it," Ye Jingcheng continued.

Of course, he was also observing the expressions of the three. After seeing their expressions.

He roughly understood the relationship between the three and the Wang family of Vast Righteousness Prefecture.

They were likely another corresponding force in the Wang family's territory in the Central Region.

Just like the Ye family's previous relationship. Otherwise, if they were truly the Wang family's core force, why would they be so worried?

Perhaps, even few people in the entire Starfall Sect or even the entire Starfall Sea knew about this relationship.

"Senior is laughing. We can't be considered the Wang family's core affiliated force, and immortal clans and immortal sects are slightly different," Sun Sage said slowly. Then, seeing that Ye Jingcheng had no intention of revealing his immortal sect, he had no choice but to change the subject:

"Senior should be considered the core of an immortal sect, right? In my observation of the Starfall Sea, the newly opened Ye Yuan Restaurant is quite comprehensive. It's not something a mortal Core Formation force could open."

"There's no need for such suspicion and probing. I am indeed the core of an immortal sect. You should have guessed that the Cold Flood Dragon was killed by me, and everything obtained was offered to the immortal sect," Ye Jingcheng said generously.

However, he didn't reveal which immortal sect he belonged to. The Ye family was still in danger and shouldn't expose too much.

If the other party truly had no connection with immortal sects or immortal clans, the Ye family could directly control the Starfall Sea.

Now it seemed that there was no such possibility.

The Ye family had offended Penglai and shouldn't offend new immortal sects or immortal clans.

"However, you also know that the larger the sect, the more resources it needs," Ye Jingcheng added.

This sentence was a reminder to the others.

Although the Ye family didn't occupy the Starfall Sea, it was certain that they would take away most of the resources.

The Ye family didn't have enough manpower before, but now that the Ye family had many Golden Core cultivators, there was no need to worry about manpower shortages. In addition to controlling the surrounding Beast Sea, the Ye family also wanted to get involved in the huge resource market of the Starfall Sea.

"Senior, that's natural. Ye Yuan Restaurant is worthy of being the number one sect in the Starfall Sea, and Senior doesn't need to show your face. Just let this junior manipulate things a little, let two ignorant sects disappear, and then this junior will create momentum. It will be easy for Senior to control the business of restaurants, pills, and magical artifacts," Sun Sage True Lord said, constantly looking at Ye Jingcheng's eyes.

Profit sharing was the most important thing, so he was looking at Ye Jingcheng's eyes to choose which benefits to offer.

Restaurants, pills, and magical artifacts accounted for about 60% of the market.

After all, the remaining businesses were only spiritual herbs, spiritual materials, formations, and spiritual talismans.

This was very sincere, and Ye Jingcheng nodded.

"In terms of islands, there are currently three islands that are more suitable for Senior. One is Twin Sages Island, which is also our Starfall Sect's island. The other two are islands controlled by two affiliated forces, both of which have decent areas and spiritual veins that can be upgraded to fifth-order at any time."
